Common Core State Standards Initiative Update

Drivers of the Initiative

Disparate standards across states (strong evidence of significant differences in academic expectations set by states)

Student mobility, which exacerbates the problem of disparate standards across states

Changes in the set of skills required for current and emerging jobs

Increasing worldwide competition for existing jobs (1)

Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI)

The CCSSI did not call for, nor does it support, a

“national curriculum.” The common standards were designed to identify the most essential skills and knowledge students need, but not how students acquire them. Oversight of curricular matters will continue to be the prerogative of the individual states. (2)

(2) “Coming Together to Raise Achievement”, New Assessments for the Common Core State Standards, Center for K-12

Assessment & Performance Management at ETS, April 2012. http://www.k12center.org/publications/all.html

Common Core State Standards

The purpose of the CCSS…. To define the English language arts, literacy, and mathematical skills and knowledge students in grades K-12 should achieve in order to graduate from high school ready to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and workforce training

programs. Criteria for development Fewer, clearer, higher Aligned with college and work expectations Include rigorous content and application of knowledge Build on strengths of the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards Realistic and practical for the classroom

Benefit for students and families A focus on college and careers that is consistent for all students .

Changes in Student Expectations

The Common Core State Standards & Assessment expect students… Maintain an increased sense of accountability toward their own learning

Develop a concept beyond an opinion and move to “support and evidence”

Think in a more conceptual and analytic manner

Utilize higher-order, critical thinking skills

Shift from mere memorization of terms to a deep understanding of meaning

Transfer skills to new experiences

Operate in a more student-centered environment with built in peer collaboration

Changes to Instruction

The Common Core State Standards require teachers to … Increase rigor

Serve as facilitators of learning for all students

Provide guided practice, followed by the necessary support, as students take on more

independence with tasks

Share the ownership for text understanding in all content areas

Find new ways of teaching critical thinking skills

Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers PARCC

Common Core Shifts for Mathematics

Focus: The standards focus in on the key content, skills and practices at each grade level

Coherence: Content in the standards builds across the grades, and major topics are linked within grades

Rigor: In major topics, the standards highlight conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application

Common Core Shifts for ELA/Literacy

Complexity: The standards require regular practice with complex text and its academic language Evidence: The standards emphasize reading and writing grounded in evidence from text, both literary

and informational

Knowledge: The standards require building knowledge through content rich non-fiction

CCSS Mathematics

The Number System 7.NS Apply and extend previous understandings of operations

with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.

3. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers.1

1 Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions. http://www.ccsstoolbox.com/parcc/PARCCPrototype_main.html

PARCC Grade 7 Middle School Task Example

Jane and Eric are helping their teacher buy supplies for a research project. Every student will get a bag with 2 pencils and 30 index cards.

The teacher gave Jane $17 to buy pencils from the school store. The pencils come in boxes of 12 and cost $1.69 per box.

Eric was given $19 to buy index cards at an office supply store. Index cards are sold in packs of 150 cards and cost $2.99 per pack.

Jane buys as many boxes of pencils as she can afford. Eric buys as many packages of index cards as he can afford. How many complete bags of supplies can they make?

Fewer than 10 Between 10 and 24 Between 25 and 40 More than 40

Using Technology to inspire Teachers and Engage Students

Career-Technical, Adult and Community Education

Common Core Alignment Career Technical Education (CTE) is:

Application of content taught in

mathematics, English and other affected disciplines

Grounded in workplace occupational skills

and workplace employability skills

Project-based learning with a focus on team interaction

Focused on partnerships with business, industry and the community

Based upon college and career readiness

Engineering

Common Core Competencies Embedded In CTE Courses

Linking classroom mathematics and statistics to everyday life, work, and decision-making

Reading informational texts

Using technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update

individual or shared writing products

Following precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks

Determining the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context

Integrating and evaluating multiple sources of information presented in different media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively) as well as in words in order to address a question or solve a problem

Business, Industry and Community Partnerships

The district-wide CTE Advisory Council provides

guidance in both industry needs and postsecondary curriculum links

Business partners review CTE curriculum every

two years and recommend changes as per industry needs regarding skills taught, equipment, software and certifications valued in industry Curriculum writing teams incorporate these

recommendations Software and industry certification decisions

are based upon recommendations

Each Career and Professional Academy has a business/industry advisory committee that helps guide individual programs

Gaming/Programing

CTE Data

Last year, 433 students earned industry certifications compared to 8 certifications earned in 2007-08.

In 2011-12 the industry certification passage rate was 87%.

This year, 312 business and industry partners participated as CTE advisory members from all occupational sectors

Shifts in Pedagogy

Supporting instruction through the innovative use of technology in the classroom, the Innovative Learning Department aligns technology training to the RUC2Ready Instructional Framework by focusing on:

Educational Technology Standards for Students

Using the Educational Technology Standards for Students as a framework:

1. Creativity and Innovation

2. Communication and Collaboration

“Using technology, students are easily able to collaborate to achieve learning goals. Technology enhances collaboration and communication both in the classroom and, through Edmodo, beyond.” - Lake County Teacher

3. Research and Informational Fluency

“With technology, students are able to work at 21st century speeds, with instant access to the wealth of information on the Internet. In a 1-1 environment, students are able to go beyond what the textbooks offer, to explore related curriculum-based topics which excite them.” -Lake County Teacher

4. Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making

“Students entering college and the workforce are going to be expected not only to be fluent with technology, but more importantly, to be able to use technology to problem solve. Our focus on technology integration is allowing our students to build those skills so necessary for their future.” - Lake County Teacher

5. Digital Citizenship

“An important part of using powerful technology is understanding how to use it appropriately. Since this is a skill we want to see students demonstrate, we take the time to teach it.” -Lake County Teacher

6. Technology Operations and Concepts

“Our students have

demonstrated advanced skill levels with the iPads and are able to select

appropriate apps to demonstrate their

learning.” Lake County Teacher
